introduction: the basic objective of this study is to investigate the effects of alpha and theta brain waves amplitude increase in occipital area on reducing the severity of symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder and to increase the global functioning level in patients with gad. methods: this study is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with two groups. for this purpose, 28...

The present status of the renormalization-group (RG) predictions on the superfluid density ρ s and the specific heat C + and C − near the λ-line of 4 He is briefly reviewed. Particular attention is given to universal amplitude ratios related to these quantities. The goals of a new theory project are presented that involves higher-order calculations of the amplitude functions of ρ s , C + and C ...

Amplitude compression processing is used to reduce the amplitude level variations of speech to fit the reduced dynamic ranges of sensorineural impaired listeners. However this processing results in spectral smearing due in part to reduced peak-to-valley ratios. Presented here are two variations of a compression processing algorithm based on a sinusoidal speech model that preserves the important...

(1) Exact universal amplitude ratios for two-dimensional Ising model and a quantum spin chain. (2) Critical behaviour of semi-infinite quenched dilute Ising-like systems in three dimensions: Ordinary transition. (3) Universal scaling functions for bond percolation on planar random and square lattices with multiple percolating clusters. (4) Polydispersity effect and universality of finite-size s...

The excitation of propagating surface plasmons SPs on a silver-silica interface by an array of ellipsoidal silver nanoparticles is investigated using numerical simulations as a function of particle volume for three different nanoparticle aspect ratios with representative resonance frequencies. We find that while the SP amplitude depends sensitively on particle volume for each selected aspect ra...

We present recent preliminary results from five decay channels. From the KL → π πγ channel, we extract form factors for the CP violating M1 direct photon emission amplitude and the fraction of the total decay amplitude that is due to direct emission. We have placed an upper limit on the KL → π πγ branching ratio, and preliminary measurements of the KL → πeνee and π → ee branching ratios are pre...

Starting from the concept of the pseudospinodal, the authors derive an explicit expression for the scaling equation of state applicable to liquid-gas [and universality class (3,1)] systems. The advantages of this equation over other phenomenological equations are: it has no adjustable, unphysical parameters; it is valid in the metastable region; and it can simultaneously predict PVT data and th...

This study compares four nasalance measures computed as ratios between the amplitude of signals recorded with accelerometers and microphones. Two new measures based on RMS amplitude differences between the nasal signal and either the vocal folds vibration signal (LND) or the oral acoustic signal (OND) are introduced. Measures were compared on a total of 584 utterances produced by four native Fr...

We study the KL and KS decays into four leptons (eēeē, μμ̄μμ̄, eēμμ̄) where we use a form factor motivated by vector meson dominance, and show the dependence of the branching ratios and spectra from the slopes. A precise determination of short distance contribution to KL → μμ is affected by our ignorance on the sign of the amplitude A(KL → γγ) but we show a possibility to measure the sign of this ...
